You posted on an open public forum!?
i really like that this show touched on and made fun of subjects that really did affect kids. No other kids show was talking about divorce but millions of american kids were dealing with divorce. Funny how you get a completely different perspective on kids shows when your an adult.
This show was funny and edgy. Go Canada. I agree with whomever commented that kids could handle much more in the 80s and weren’t so coddled. And witth womever commented that these look like real kids…today everything is bland and conformed. and disney kids are polished to look like little adults. Say what you will about 80s fashion…at least it was interesting and unique. and these kids have some keat on their bones…not starved for skinny jeans.
At 2:50, that dad reminds me of Al Bundy from Married with Children for some reason..
That leather tough guy looks was something I remember that. Gave me weird feelings too.
Yeah…check out the 1989/90 season…not only did Les get slimed a lot, but Abby too!

“Leave my children fatherless, will you?!”

I had the BIGGEST crush on Christine McGlade! >:o)
@DamStanky
So, did I, I loved everything about Christine, and this show, everyday I watched it, even though my mom didn’t want me too, she said to me and I quote “Adam, I don’t want you watching that shit”, I didn’t listen to her LMAO.
@gtz1975
I didn’t know that Les passed away, this show was the bomb, and a definate favorite of mine.
R.I.P Les Lye 1924-2009
Ross, Lance, Teacher, etc. truly a gifted comedy writer/actor.
Lye died in Ottawa, Ontario on July 21, 2009. Lye had previously suffered a mild heart attack in 2002, and suffered from diabetes in his later years.

Divorce Drugs.. Did they cover sex on this show.. I know with Drugs they used the Pie in the face metaphor.
Wow.. interesting. I was a kid and didnt understand this but after looking at these clips.. wow. Are these on Dvd’s?
christine and lisa shouldve done this show with NO clothes on…which would be sexy! but you do realize, that this comment is the introduction to the opposite sketches!
4:15 I remember that joke Maybe it IS all your fault 😮
4:42 Isn’t that Kevin?
This is one of the last great North American shows.
